    Few things are as good as a perfectly ripe avocado...

    I could eat one a day, if i could find that many good ones! Had a half last night as part of dinner! :)

    I LOVE avocados-- I've been having them almost every single day! They're also the good type of fats so no need to worry-- beats saturated and trans fat any day ! :)

    Is there a such thing as an avocado BIRTHDAY CAKE :noway: ?

    Cause I want one! LOL

    They are my favorite, but because of the calorie count on them they are a treat. If I could I'd eat one everyday.

    I know it's good fats but a calorie is a calorie. :cry:

    I frequently have one for breakfast. A good start for the day that keeps hunger away!

    I LOVE AVOCADO!!! They are SO good in a variety of things. If you find you're eating too much, maybe just eat half and use the other as a hair mask...it makes your hair all shiny and glorious! LOL

    Dang, now I want some gauc..........

    how does everybody store their opened avacados? (assuming you don't eat the whole thing :laugh:)

    I just wrap some saran wrap on the non-eaten half (I leave the pit side for last) and then the put the 'top' back on and put in a baggie. Might be overkill, but no brown avadado's for me!

    You can freeze them. No skin, put in a container, the trick is you need to put the seed in the container too. When you need them thaw and yes they are a little discolored just stir it up and you can barely tell.

    I love Love LOVE aguacate!

    I remember when I was young, as a treat I would ask for (not chips, not cupcakes but.. ) lightly saltee avocado.

    On summer in the Dominican Republic I tried avocado ice cream. Yea, it sounds like I crossed the line there but it was sooo good!

    :love:

    Love them...eat one almost daily! I use it in place of mayo on sandwiches (chicken breast shredded, a roasted red pepper and a pile of smashed avocado on a flat out)

    I also like to eat it mashed up in an Annie Chun's sticky brown rice bowl as a side to my protein. Kind of reminds of sushi ;)

    I love avocados!! My grandpa had three avocado trees in his yard when I was growing up. I got to pick ripe ones right off the tree. So yummy!!!

    Absolutely, I love them by them selves or with some black bean salad.

    ^^ This. Citrus and black bean salad with avocado. Oh dear God...it's pretty much a religious experience (if you believe in that sort of thing). I think I posted the recipe (and nutrition info) on here a while back.
